Backed by our Helmut Zepf Warranty — this instrument is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for 6 months. Full terms and how to make a claim are on the Warranty page.
Instrument Overview
This Gracey Curette features area-specific blade angulation that distinguishes it from universal curettes. The GRA 15/16 designation indicates its suitability for posterior teeth, particularly targeting the mesial aspects of premolars and molars where access can be challenging. The skewed working surfaces provide the correct offset angle required to adapt precisely to tooth morphology in these regions.
Handle Design
The instrument is fitted with a hollow stainless steel handle, which reduces hand fatigue during extended clinical procedures by lowering the overall instrument weight while maintaining a firm, tactile grip. The hollow construction also improves vibration transmission, supporting more sensitive tactile feedback during subgingival instrumentation.
Material & Manufacturing
Manufactured by Helmut Zepf in Germany, this Gracey Curette is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, consistent with the brand's commitment to precision and durability. The instrument is autoclavable and designed to meet the demanding standards of professional periodontal practice.
